Kids under 18 (not 13) cruise free!
Kids under 18 can cruise for free on five cruises aboard Athena from Fremantle and Adelaide next summer including 10 or 11-night summer school holiday cruises to Bali which families of four can join from just $4790 including as much food and as many desserts as the kids – and their parents – can eat.
Unlike other cruise lines which forces parents to pay adult fares for children as young as 13, Classic International Cruises treats all kids under 18 as children and has waived kids fares on five cruises this summer, with children only paying port charges and taxes.
Classic International Cruises’ family-friendly flagship, Athena, offers free, supervised activities for children and teenagers, no extra charges for speciality dining and the onboard currency is Australian dollars, helping families save more money on their holiday. And unlike most other cruise ships, Athena offers extended, overnight stays in Bali, allowing passengers to explore the island at leisure, using the ship as their base.
The special family deal applies to two adults and two children under 18 on these cruises *:
- 10-night Christmas cruise return from Fremantle/Perth in WA on December 20, 2009, to Bali for a two-day stay. With the kids-free offer, a family of two adults and two children under 18 can sail from $4790 including all onboard meals and special Christmas feasts and festivities
- 11-night school holiday cruise return from Fremantle/Perth on January 4, 2010, to Bali for a three-day stay. Under the special offer, all-inclusive fares for a family of four are available from $4840
- Five-night school holiday cruise from Fremantle to Adelaide on January 18, 2010, via Port Lincoln, with fares for a family of four priced from $2040 under the special deal
- Seven-night return cruise from Adelaide to Tasmania, sailing January 23, 2010, with family fares pried from $2940 for a family of two adults and two children under 18
- Six-night cruise from Adelaide to Fremantle on February 8, 2010, via Port Lincoln and Esperance, from $2450 for a family of two adults and two children under 18.
* Fares are per family of two adults and two children sharing a cabin and include all onboard meals and entertainment as well as port charges, taxes and gratuities. Conditions apply and subject to availability
Athena will be based in Western Australia and South Australia next summer, offering 16 cruises to Asia, Tasmania, along the Australian coastline and between Europe and Australia.
Athena is a traditional, mid-sized ocean liner offering attentive, old-fashioned service, fine cuisine, first-rate entertainment and value-for-money fares in a relaxed atmosphere with a warm camaraderie amongst passengers.
“Cruising offers families the perfect holiday together and our all-inclusive fares and kids free deal mean that more families will be able to get away for less next summer,” said Classic International Cruises Managing Director Grant Hunter.
